1. You are working with Law Connection. One of the company's clients is scheduled for a court-annexed arbitration; however, she is unsure what a court-annexed arbitration is. The client believes that the private arbitration would be better for her personal injury situation (she fell in the lobby of a building). Your supervising attorney has asked you to:
Explain to the client the differences between private arbitration and court-annexed arbitration. Provide her with a real world example of a matter that would be appropriate for private arbitration, and an example of a matter suited for the court-annexed arbitration.
Provide the client with at least two advantages of the court-annexed arbitration, and describe to the client why the court-annexed arbitration is more appropriate in a personal injury case. Provide the client with some examples to help her understand.
